Default Formulas containing variable input


Hi guys:
I suck at Excel, so I would really appreciate any help. Here's the
deal, I have a huge spreadsheet in which each column contains the data
pertaining to each month. for example B is january, C is February, and
so on... I have a separate sheet where calculations are carried out,
and one such calculation requires summing up the columns of data from
all previous month including the current month. for instance, if it
were march, I would have someth like =Sum(B9:D9), for the month of june
i would have =Sum(B9:G9). it's a pain changing the formula manually
every month, so is there a way to represent the second column letter in
the formula as a variable input that depends on the current month? I
want it in the form of =Sum(B9:X9), where X is an expression that
represents the correct column. i tried nested formulas like:
=Sum(B9:('HelpSheet'!A1)9), where 'HelpSheet!'A1 is a cell in another
sheet that contains the appropriate column letter. Obvious my blind
attempts didn't work, so hope you guys can give some suggestions.
Cheers,
JR Shaw
